"I booked this table for our first Valentine's date meal. We went into the hotel which looks really nice I was like wow not what I expected nice decore and smartly dressed staff. We then checked in at 1565 at 8.15pm we was taken to our table where we sat for 35minuites before the waiter came and asked if we would like a drink so we ordered. After we relieved the drinks we ordered our food we had 3 starters a main which was to share but was the size of a child's meal for one and we then had a dessert which should of been to share that came out tiny we ate 1st starter then we ate the 3rd then our main came I then asked the waiter in a polite manner why we did not receive our 2nd starter he said so sorry I didn't no so went to find out. He came back 20mins after with our 2nd starter then we had to wait another 25mins for our dessert we where starving after all of this. We was told that it is £40pp with a glass of rose, but as me and my partner do not drink alcohol i called up in the afternoon to swap it for soft drink which I was told that's fine u won't pay for your drink brilliant. Cut a long story short the bill came to £110.37p it's a good job my partner had his card with him as I only took £80 with me this is what we was charged. £40 valentine 5 course meal including drink £40 valentine 5 course meal including drink £6.00 ×2 small cokes £8.60 Service charge £15.77 VAT How can they tell you £80 then though all these bills on. I called up the next day as my partner did not want me to make a scene I was on the phone from 8.30am till 3pm on and off to try and sort the problem then to have to message my partners account number, sort code, 16 digit card number, security code and expiry day. Received no email from manager it was all done by text from his personal phone. Very unhappy customer and very unprofessional staff. I would never ever recommended this restaurant to anybody and I will be putting my point across to everybody."

"The food here is always excellent, and they don't scrimp on their portion sizes, especially the paella which is very generous! Don't be lulled in to ordering paella for the exact number in your party, as the portion size will be HUGE unless you don't plan to have any tapas starters. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children (11 13). We had a selection of tapas starters (approx 3 pp) followed by a Paella Mixta for 2 people, and we were stuffed! This was more than sufficient, enough in fact for us to take away a doggy bag, which later fed 2 adults for dinner. The restaurant is consistently packed, especially on Saturday night so reservations are advisable to avoid disappointment or long waits. My only gripe is the service is very slow. We have eaten there on 2 separate Saturday nights and it always feels like they're a little short staffed. At one point in the evening I saw 5 staff behind or at the bar, and only 2 tending to customer tables. To give some context, at this time there were only 2 customers seated at the bar, but a full restaurant. If you're not in any hurry, then slower service isn't going to be an issue, however the absence of staff tending to tables does make getting the waiting staff's attention very tedious, and delivery of things like drinks very slow. My biggest issue with the restaurant is the toilets, in particular the ladies room. On this occasion 2 out of 3 ladies cubicles were unuseable, blocked with paper and other waste matter presumably this is due to poor water pressure and flushing, but whatever the reason, does not make for a pleasurable experience, resulting in a long wait for the 1 working loo."
